What is the risk profile of the site?
What regulations do you have to meet if any?
 i.e., FIPS-140-2? <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIPS_140>
 <http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips140-2/fips1402.pdf>

What does it cost to use higher level encryption? (Probably very little)

Any reason not to use the best encryption? (Probably not with modern systems)

MD5 should not be used. Use SHA-512
